CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application 10-2022-0078833, filed Jun. 28, 2022, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.

STATEMENT REGARDING NATIONALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

This invention was made with government support by the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA) on the basis of financial resource from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, Republic of Korea in 2022, under Project No. S3136239. The Government has certain rights to the invention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a power supply system and method for a collective building.

Description of the Related Art

Recently, a ┌Zero Energy Building Certification System┘ is in operation as a certification system for improving energy efficiency of buildings. The ┌Zero Energy Building Certification System┘ requires, as a certification condition, that the energy independence rate that is the ratio of new renewable energy of the energy that is used by buildings is 20% or more.

Meanwhile, a progressive system that increases the power cost in accordance with the use amount of power is applied to impose a rate to the commercial power that is supplied by Korea Electric Power Corporation. Further, since production of energy, substantially, power at new renewable energy facilities and use of the produced power do not agree with each other in terms of time, new renewable energy facilities are generally used with an Energy Storage System (ESS) for storing produced power. However, such a system or method for supplying power to collective buildings according to the present disclosure has the following problems.

First, in the related art, power that is produced at new renewable energy facilities should be supplied to power loads such that the power usage by the power loads does not correspond to a progressive range, but an appropriate technology for this subject has not been proposed. In particular, in collective buildings such as an apartment or an office building, different power usage of the households is not considered, so the power stored in an ESS is not efficiently used.

Further, in order to satisfy the certification condition that is an energy independence rate of 20% or more in the ┌Zero Energy Building Certification System┘, it is required to operate a new renewable energy facility in consideration of the energy independence rate. However, since power is supplied just in consideration of only the power that is consumed by loads in the related art, there is no solution for this problem.

Further, recently, transactions of electricity are actively made between not only power companies, but power producer and power users. However, in the related art, a detailed method has not been proposed in relation to using or selling power generated at new renewable energy facilities particularly included in collective buildings for separate households.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Hereafter, a power supply system for a collective building according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a power supply system for a collective building according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, a collective building B to which the this embodiment is applied is composed of a large number of households H1 and H2 and loads that use power in the collective building B can be classified into common loads Lc and separate loads Ls. In this configuration, the common loads Lc are for common purposes of the households H1 and H2 and the separate loads Ls are for individual purposes of the households H1 and H2. Loads that are operated for the common purposes of the household H1 and H2 such as a light in a common space or an elevator or an escalator that is commonly used may be exemplified as the common loads Lc, and loads that are operated for the individual purposes of the households H1 and H2 such as a television, a refrigerator, and a washing machine that are used in each of the households H1 and H2 may be exemplified as the separate loads Ls. A power supply system 1 of the collective building B according to this embodiment is provided to supply power to the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls and includes a new renewable energy facility 100, an energy storage system 200, and power supply facility.

The new renewable energy facility 100 produces power that is used by the separate loads Ls and the common loads Lc of the households H1 and H2. As the new renewable energy facility 100, well-known facilities such as a solar facility, a daylighting facility, a solar thermal facility, a geothermal energy facility, a wind power facility, a hydroelectric facility, a bio facility, a wood pellet boiler, a waste energy recovery facility, a fuel cell facility, and a hydrothermal energy facility may be used.

Power produced by the new renewable energy facility 100 is stored in the energy storage system 200. The energy storage system 200 may be understood as a battery system in which power is stored.

In this embodiment, the power stored in the energy storage system 200 is equally assigned to the households H1 and H2. Substantially, the power stored in the energy storage system 200 can be assigned to the households H1 and H2 in the unit of preset period, for example, day. For example, when the power stored in the energy storage system 200 is 1,000 KWh and the collective buildings are composed of ten households H1 and H2, 100 KWh can be assigned to each of the households H1 and H2.

Further, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 of the power stored in the energy storage system 200 is supplied to the common load Lc or/and the separate load Ls or/and external loads Lo. In particular, power assigned to the households H1 and H2 can be supplied to the common loads Lc or/and the separate loads Ls or/and the external loads Lo under the condition that the current month's power consumption does not enter an upper range in a progressive system. As another example, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 may be selectively supplied to the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2, depending on selection of householders of the households H1 and H2.

In more detail, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households H1 and H2 will maintain the current range in a progressive system in consideration of the pre-stored power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power that the households H1 and H2 bear of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc in the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common loads Lc and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 can be supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 or the external loads Lo.

For example, when the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc is 800 kWh, the current month's usage of power provided from a power company of the households H1 and H2 is 150 kWh, the number of remaining days of the current month is 5, and the daily power consumption according to the past power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 is expected as 20 kWh, a range of 200 kWh or less that is the current use range can be maintained if the remaining power of 20 kWh excluding 80 kWh supplied to the common loads Lc from the power of 100 kWh assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2. Accordingly, in this case, power that the households H1 and H2 bear of the daily power consumption by the common loads Lc in the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common loads Lc and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 or the external loads Lo.

On the other hands, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households H1 and H2 will enter an upper range in the progressive system in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common loads Lc.

For example, when the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc is 800 kWh, the current month's usage of power provided from a power company of the households H1 and H2 is 150 kWh, the number of remaining days in the current month is 5, and the daily power consumption according to the past power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 is expected as 40 kWh, power consumption becomes 250 kWH exceeding 200 kWh that is the current use range and can enter an upper range if the remaining power of 20 kWh excluding 80 kWh supplied to the common loads Lc from the power of 100 kWh assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2. Accordingly, in this case, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and h2 and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common loads Lc.

Meanwhile, the households H1 and H2 may be classified into households H1 and H2 that have used up their assigned power and household H1 and H2 that have remaining power of the assigned power. Hereafter, households H1 and H2 that have used up their assigned power of the households H1 and H2 are referred to first households H1 and households H1 and H2 that have remaining power of the assigned power are referred to as second households H2. Accordingly, when the second household H2 uses up assigned power, even the second household H2 will be handled in the same way as the first household H1.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the first household H1 will enter an upper range in the progressive system in consideration of the pre-stored power consumption patterns of the separate loads Ls of the first household H1 and the number of remaining day in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the second household H2 is diverted and supplied to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1. In other words, in this embodiment, when the current month's power consumption of the first household H1 is expected to enter an upper range in the progressive system, the power assigned to the second household H2 can be diverted to the first household H1.

For example, for the first household H1, the current month's usage of power supplied from a power company is 150 kWh, the number of remaining days in the current month is 5, and daily power consumption that is expected in accordance with the past power consumption pattern of the first household H1 is 20 kWh, the first household H1 enters an upper range of the progressive system when the first household H1 additionally uses power supplied from the power company.

In more detail, power that the second household H2 bears of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the common load Lc and power assigned to the second household H2 that corresponds to the excess of the daily power consumption of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household H2 to maintain the current range in the progressive system in consideration of the pre-stored power consumption patterns of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 are diverted to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1. In other words, the power excluding the power that the second household H2 bears for the common loads Lc of the power assigned to the second household H2 and the power required for the second household H2 to maintain the current range in the progressive system can be diverted to the first household H1.

For example, when the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc is 800 kWh, the current month's usage of power provided from a power company of the second household H2 is 150 kWh, the number of remaining days in the current month is 5, and the daily power consumption according to the past power consumption patterns of the second household H2 is expected as 10 kWh, 10 kWh excluding 80 kWh supplied to the common loads Lc and 10 kWh supplied to the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 from 100 kWh assigned to the first household H1 can be diverted to the first household H1.

Meanwhile, the power supply facility 300 supplies power stored in the energy storage system 200 to the external loads Lo. Accordingly, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common load Lc or/and the separate load Ls or/and external loads Lo. In this case, the external loads Lo mean all loads other than the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls, that is, other loads excluding the loads directly related to the collective building B and the households H1 and H2, and for example, other collective building or/and households included therein or various devices that need to be charged such as an electric vehicle may be defined as the external loads Lo.

Further, in this embodiment, when it is determined that there will not be households H1 and h2 of which the current month's power consumption enters an upper range in a progressive system by supply of power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power is supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300. That is, only spare power excluding the power for the households H1 and H2 to maintain the current range in a progressive system of the power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 is supplied to the external loads Lo.

As another example, power can be supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300 when it is determined that the ratio of the power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 to the current month's power consumption of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 considering power consumption patterns of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month is over a prescribed reference ratio Rs.

That is, the power supply facility 300 supplies power to the external loads Lo in the range in which the collective building B satisfies a certification condition under the ┌Zero Energy Building Certification System┘. Referring to the rules of the current ┌Zero Energy Building Certification System┘, the reference ratio Rs may be set as 20% or more.

Substantially, power that the second household H2 bears of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc and power assigned to the second household H2 that corresponds to the excess of the daily power consumption of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household H2 to maintain the current range in the progressive system may be diverted to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1 or supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300. In this case, the power assigned to the second household H2 is supplied first to the first household H1 and then supplied to the external loads Lo.

That is, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the first household H1 will enter an upper range of a progressive system, the power assigned to the second household H2 is diverted and supplied to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1. Further, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the first household H1 will not enter an upper range of a progressive system, the power assigned to the second household H2 is supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300.

Further, the prices for the power diverted to the first household H1 and the power supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300 is distributed to the second household H2 in inverse proportion to the usage of the assigned power. In other words, relatively larger prices are paid to households that have less used the assigned power of the second households H2. For example, the prices that the first household H1 pays may be paid in the way that the first household H1 bears some of the maintenance cost that is imposed to the second household H2.

Hereafter, a power supply method for a collective building according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a power supply method for a collective building according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2, a power supply method for a collective building according to this embodiment, which is a method of supplying power to common loads for common purposes of many households H1 and H2 constituting a collective building and separate loads Lx for separate purposes of the households H1 and H2, includes a power production step S100, a power storage step S200, a power assignment step S300, a power supply step S400, and a price payment step S500.

In more detail, in the power production step S100, power is produced at a new renewable energy facility 100. Further, in the power storage step S200, the power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 in the power production step S100 is stored in an energy storage system 200.

Next, in the power assignment step S300, the power stored in the energy storage system 200 in the power storage step S200 is equally assigned to households H1 and H2. Further, in the power supply step S400, power stored in the energy storage system 200 that corresponds to the power assigned to households H1 and H2 in the power assignment step S300 is supplied to common loads Lc or/and separate loads Ls or/and external loads.

As described above, in the power supply step S400, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households H1 and H2 will maintain the current range in a progressive system in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power that the households H1 and H2 bear of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc in the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the common loads Lc and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 or the external loads Lo. Further, in the power supply step S400, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households H1 and H2 will entire an upper range in the progressive system in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the households H1 and H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and then supplied to the common loads Lc. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the power stored in the energy storage system 200 can be efficiently used such that the households H1 and H2 do not enter an upper range in the progressive system.

In particular, in this embodiment, in the power supply step S400, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the first household H1 enters an upper range in the progressive system, the power assigned to the second household H2 is supplied to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1, whereby the first household H1 can be supplied with power from the power company and use the power at a lower cost.

In this case, in the power supply step S400, power that the second household H2 bears of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the common load Lc and power assigned to the second household H2 that corresponds to the excess of the daily power consumption of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household H2 to maintain the current range in the progressive system in consideration of the pre-stored power consumption patterns of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 are diverted to the separate loads Ls of the first household H1. That is, in this embodiment, spare power excluding the power that the second household H2 needs is supplied to the first household H1, thereby being able to prevent that a disadvantage is applied to the second household H2.

Meanwhile, in the power supply step S400, when it is determined that there will not be households H1 and h2 of which the current month's power consumption enters an upper range in a progressive system by supply of power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power can be supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300. Further, in the power supply step S400, power can be supplied to the external loads Lo by the power supply facility 300 when it is determined that the ratio of the power produced at the new renewable energy facility 100 to the current month's power consumption of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 considering power consumption patterns of the common loads Lc and the separate loads Ls of the households H1 and H2 and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month is over a prescribed reference ratio Rs.

Meanwhile, in the power supply step S400, power that the second household H2 bears of the daily power consumption of the common loads Lc and power assigned to the second household H2 that corresponds to the excess of the daily power consumption of the separate loads Ls of the second household H2 that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household H2 to maintain the current range in the progressive system are supplied to the external loads Lo. In this case, the power assigned to the second household H2 is supplied first to the first household H1 and then supplied to the external loads Lo.

Finally, in the price payment step S500, the price for the power diverted to the first household H1 in the power supply step S400 is paid to the second household H2. In this embodiment, the price for the power diverted to the first households H1 is distributed to the second households H2 in inverse proportion to the usage of the assigned power, so prices can be more fairly paid.

It is apparent that the present disclosure may be changed in various ways by those skilled in the art within the range of the spirit of the present disclosure and the right range of the present disclosure should be construed on the basis of the following claims.

The power supply system of claim 1, wherein when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households will maintain a current range in a progressive system in consideration of pre-stored power consumption patterns of the households and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power that the households bear of daily power consumption of the common loads in the power assigned to the households is supplied to the common loads and then remaining power of the power assigned to the households is supplied to the separate loads of the households or supplied to the external loads by the power supply facility; and

when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households will entire an upper range in the progressive system in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the households and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the households is supplied to the separate loads of the households and then supplied to the common loads.

5. The power supply system of claim 1, wherein the households include a first household that has used up assigned power and a second household that has remaining power of assigned power, and

power that the second household bears of daily power consumption of the common loads in consideration of power consumption patterns of the common load and power assigned to the second household that corresponds to an excess of daily power consumption of the separate loads of the second household that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household to maintain a current range in the progressive system in consideration of pre-stored power consumption patterns of the separate loads of the second household are diverted to the separate loads of the first household or supplied to the external loads by the power supply facility.

6. The power supply system of claim 5, wherein when it is determined that current month's power consumption of the first household will enter an upper range in a progressive system in consideration of power consumption patterns of the first household and the number of remaining day in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the second household is diverted and supplied to the separate loads of the first household; and

in other cases, the power assigned to the second household is supplied to the external loads by the power supply facility.

7. The power supply system of claim 5, wherein a price for the power diverted to the first household and the power supplied to the external loads by the power supply facility (300) is distributed to the second household in inverse proportion to the usage of the assigned power.

8. A power supply method for a collective building that is a method of supplying power to common loads for common purposes of a large number of households constituting a collective building and to separate loads for separate purposes of the households, the power supply method comprising:

a power production step in which power is produced by a new renewable energy facility;
a power storage step in which the power produced by the new renewable energy facility is stored in an energy storage system;
a power assignment step in which the power stored in the energy storage system is equally assigned to the households; and
a power supply step in which the power assigned to the households is supplied to at least one of the common loads, the separate loads of the households, and external loads.

9. The power supply method of claim 8, wherein in the power supply step, when it is determined that there will not be households of which current month's power consumption enters an upper range in a progressive system by supply of power produced at the new renewable energy facility in consideration of pre-stored power consumption patterns of the common loads and the separate loads of the households and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power is supplied to the external loads.

10. The power supply method of claim 8, wherein in the power supply step, power is supplied to the external loads when it is determined that a ratio of the power produced at the new renewable energy facility to current month's power consumption of the common loads and the separate loads of the households considering power consumption patterns of the common loads and the separate loads of the households and the number of remaining days in a corresponding month is over a prescribed reference ratio.

11. The power supply method of claim 1, wherein in the power supply step, when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households will maintain the current range in a progressive system in consideration of pre-stored power consumption patterns of the households and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, power that the households bear of the daily power consumption of the common loads in the power assigned to the households is supplied to the common loads and then the remaining power of the power assigned to the households is supplied to the separate loads of the households or the external loads; and

when it is determined that the current month's power consumption of the households will entire an upper range in the progressive system in consideration of the power consumption patterns of the households and the number of remaining days in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the households is supplied to the separate loads of the households and then supplied to the common loads.

12. The power supply method of claim 1, wherein the households include a first household that has used up assigned power and a second household that has remaining power of assigned power, and

in the power supply step, power that the second household bears of daily power consumption of the common loads in consideration of power consumption patterns of the common load and power assigned to the second household that corresponds to an excess of daily power consumption of the separate loads of the second household that is needed for the current month's power consumption of the second household to maintain a current range in the progressive system in consideration of pre-stored power consumption patterns of the separate loads of the second household are diverted to the separate loads of the first household or supplied to the external loads.

13. The power supply method of claim 12, wherein in the power supply step,

when it is determined that current month's power consumption of the first household will enter an upper range in a progressive system in consideration of power consumption patterns of the first household and the number of remaining day in the corresponding month, the power assigned to the second household is diverted and supplied to the separate loads of the first household; and
in other cases, the power supplied to the second household is supplied to the external loads.

14. The power supply method of claim 12, wherein a price for the power diverted to the first household and the power supplied to the external loads by the power supply facility is distributed to the second household in inverse proportion to the usage of the assigned power.
